User reviews

Login is bugged

Can’t login into the app, just pushes me to a browser when I try to login.

No dark mode?

Dated and clunky. No dark mode makes it hard to use.

Fantastic publication app to mobile redirect inconsistency

The writing and articles and topics are amazing and for a Canadian it puts things in one more light which is great.

However the app has decline and any link or article you click takes you to the website / mobile version meaning this app is DOE.

Privacy Issues with Japan Times App

I have been a premium subscriber for years.

This app has major problems:

1. The Japan Times app uses a massive amount of data.
2. The Japan Times app shares your data with over 150 different domains. Your data is being widely shared, in other words. Check out the App Privacy Report under Settings for details. As a result, other apps keep showing me ads related to articles that I read in the Japan Times app.
3. The app often doesn’t recognize that you have a premium subscription, so you can’t read the full article anyway.
